Upgrade Wallet API without deleting

I can't update my wallet API since it will delete my manual edits. This is not a sensible approach.
Provide a method to update API without deleting manual transaction/descriptions, or provide a way to export/import into the new upgraded wallet (must include descriptions, manual transactions, and deleted transactions)

This may be silly, but has anyone provided a video of exactly what needs to be done. I am a little simple

Hi everyone,
There seems to be some confusion about the "API has been upgraded" message.
This message will be shown for any wallet that was created using an older version of an integration.
However, it DOES NOT mean that the wallet needs to be recreated.
All wallets will ALWAYS use the most recent version of the API, so the API always updates automatically.
If your wallet was created using an older version of an API, then it may have some errors or issues that a newer wallet would not have. It is entirely up to you whether you want to resolve these issues by amending them manually or by recreating the entire wallet.
If your wallet does not have any issues or errors, then there is no need to do anything at all, since your wallet will be using the newest version of the API going forward.
Here is an example:
Automatic support for UniswapV3 liquidity providing was only added in 2023. If you created an Ethereum wallet on Koinly that had such transactions, then you would have had to amend them manually.
After we added support for UniswapV3 liquidity, all such transactions would be synced correctly going forward, but the transactions that had been synced in the past would still be incorrect and would therefore need to be fixed manually or resynced.
Hope this makes sense and clears up any confusion!
We have also updated the warning message that is shown for these wallets, so that this should be more clear going forward :)

I don't think people realise how important this is. They will if they ever have to re-ingest an entire wallet history on which they have previously done extensive manual work.

Yes, I have invested hours of hard work going through each transaction and it is unworkable to lose all that effort by having to delete a wallet.

Yessss please :) much needed addition as some of us have many years of transactions. Mine date back to 2017 and it would be a nightmare to try and fix everything again manually
